According to newly released research by equity management platform Capdesk, 77 per cent of startup founders are saying that the Covid crisis has made them more likely to offer employee equity in their company.
Capdesk is headquartered in London and works with European scale-ups including Secret Escapes, Curve, GoHenry, Privitar, Nutmeg and Gousto.
The study found that among employees, founders and CEOs at private equity-backed UK startups and scale-ups, a majority of employees (80 per cent) and business owners (78 per cent) believe companies should be required by law to offer equity share schemes to their workforce.
